The Deadline to Register to Vote is October 10

New in 2017 – Register to Vote Online!

Early Voting for the 2017 General Election starts October 11.

Ohio voters have two early voting options: mail in an absentee ballot or vote early in-person at your local board of elections. The State will not send you an absentee ballot application this year, but you can request one online.

The deadline to request an absentee ballot is three days before the election. Absentee ballots must be postmarked by the day before the election. You can also return your absentee ballot in-person to your county board of elections before the close of the polls at 7:30 p.m. on Election Day.

OhioVOTES is a year-round, statewide, nonpartisan 501(c)(3) voter mobilization initiative. It galvanizes nonprofits based in low income Ohio communities to increase voter participation and join efforts for fair elections. It builds on the relationships these nonprofits already have with the people they serve. Unlike other groups who show up only during the election season, our network of housing providers, nonprofit health centers, multi-service centers, food pantries, community action, and homeless programs are well placed and trusted; they can help the people they regularly serve exercise their right to vote and stay engaged in the civic debate. OhioVOTES works closely with Nonprofit Vote.
